First, the good: the breakfast was lovely and the staff were attentive and friendly.
Now the bad ... (1) even though the hotel is very close to the station and terminals, you don't know precisely where it is. Certainly not when your flight lands at 9pm and you've no idea where you're going so you end up dragging your suitcase across the dual carriageway. Sure, it's an easy walk next day in daylight and refreshed, but it's a bit late then. (2) The room was hot, so surprisingly for March I turned on the air conditioning. It didn't work. Nor did opening a window. Consequently, i was absolutely cooked through the night. Heaven help anyone staying there in August. (3) The plumbing on the fifth floor was distinctly dodgy. The shower was good but the toilet often wouldn't flush, then took ages to re-fill the cistern. It had a problem with solids, shall we say. (4) Cleanliness: outwardly, all was shining and clean; next morning when I did my customary look under the beds for lost stuff etc ... let's just say a hoover hadn't been there in decades.
